    Robin,

    First of all, I hope you have another job to go to. Was this due to a kilt wearing issue where you preferred to wear the kilt to work, but the boss would not allow it?

    When one door closes - another door opens. I wish you all the best as you begin this new chapter in your life!

    No...had nothing to do with me wearing a kilt, although...perhaps the power of the kilt did help me to do this.

    I'm working at the same restaurant for 14 years now, not happy with the way they treat me for several years.

    I told them I will stay until July, so they have time to find someone else (that won't be easy)...gives me time to think of something else also.

    I might start a small kiltpin business :mrgreen:

    My wife Michelle earns enough (understatement), we've no kids, no debts, so there's no financial need to stay. Michelle likes to see a happy hubby and she supports my decision.

    :-D

    Go for it Robin. I was in a similar position 3 years ago when I worked for HSBC Bank - decided to leave and now work for the RNLI, a major UK charity, and have never looked back - less pressure and stress!

    Good for you Robin. And may I add that you are lucky man to have such a wife. Don't forget to remind her how lucky she is to have a man that wears a kilt. :-)
